Zona Board of Regents “aggressively pursuing the facts”

[greymatters4]

The FBI doesn’t indict people over NCAA violations and they aren’t concerned at all about NCAA violations. So saying the FBI investigates Miller and found nothing just means they didn’t directly tie him to the charges brought against the defendants. Miller could have knowledge of a payment but that’s not a indictable crime, it is however an NCAA violation.

If its proven he was on tape discussing payments yes, that would be a violation and Arizona could fire him with cause.

I was replying to @Conn501 who said the FBI found NCAA violations. There’s a difference between the FBI looking for NCAA violations and NCAA violations that were broken as a result of the investigation.

You sound remarkably like fans of U6 and The Filth. Let me explain the progression here. First you will contend no NCAA violations have been uncovered. Then you claim that the violations weren’t really that bad. Then the whimpering starts lamenting that everyone is doing it. Then the rationalization that the penalties should be light. Lastly, you will point at the deepest pit of scum ever to exist in college athletics in NC and ask for equal treatment seeking refuge in semantics.

Money changed hands. It was systematic in its implementation. University personnel were involved. Violations have occurred. Your only hope is the massive corruption in the NCAA, matched only by their incompetence. Very good chance this is going to end poorly.

He doesn’t have to be on tape, it’s taken a lot less for other programs to be penalized. Arizona doesn’t want to fire him, they’re aren’t going to earnestly look for a reason to fire him. Arizona is more than happy to let an FBI investigation that has nothing to do with NCAA violations stand as their reason to keep him.

I agree. There doesn’t have to be proof of violations for the NCAA to act. But that’s a different conversation.
